Bernie Sanders unveils 32-hour workweek bill

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday introduced a bill to establish a standard four-day workweek in the United States without any reduction in pay.

The bill, over a four-year period, would lower the threshold required for overtime pay, from 40 hours to 32 hours. It would require overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times a worker’s regular salary, for workdays longer than 8 hours, and it would require overtime pay at double a worker’s regular salary for workdays longer than 20 hours.


The Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act would also protect workers’ pay and benefits to ensure there’s no loss in pay, according to a press release.

A press release described the legislation as “an important step toward ensuring that workers share in the massive increase in productivity driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and new technology.”

“Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay is not a radical idea,” Sanders said in a press release. “Today, American workers are over 400 percent more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago. That has got to change.”

“The financial gains from the major advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and new technology must benefit the working class, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street. It is time to reduce the stress level in our country and allow Americans to enjoy a better quality of life,” he wrote.

Sanders introduced the legislation with Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), and Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) introduced companion legislation in the House.

“While CEOs’ wages continue to increase, our workers are finding themselves doing more, yet earning less than they have in decades,” Butler wrote in a statement. “The Thirty-Two-Hour Workweek Act would allow hardworking Americans to spend more time with their families while protecting their wages and making sure profits aren’t only going to a select few.”

LOL I had to check this.

I understand that hard working communists don't like to be distracted, but the actual story is that Bernie was there for a few days as a reporter.

Why 32hrs? Make it 24 hours

I really don't understand how the left can deny reality. You want businesses to pay their employees for 40hrs a week, when they're only working 32hrs a week?

This is something that has long been thrown around, TBH given so much of the economy has been financialised and is pushing numbers around and ticket clipping, not a big deal.

You're living in a socialist fairy tale if you think for one second people will work 32hrs yet magically get 40hrs of pay. And before you start with the standard misc CEO 10k a day act, there are people who actually can't afford to have their hours cut by Comrade Bernie.

We should reduce the work week. But wages are already too low. Such a system wouldn't work without UBI or something. I'm not convinced 40 is the magic number though, and a lot of people work more than 40 hrs a week just to get by. What really needs to happen is the government needs to eliminate a lot of the wasteful military spending and then use taxation to transfer wealth back to the poor and middle class. They need to be taxing a whole lot more at the top end and also coming down hard on companies to reallocate wealth to the poor.

disagree if you want but id support the chit out of this, why, because im salary but get a bonus @ the end of the year to make up for the handful of OT hours every other week. well if they did away with the bonus & the extra shift causing it, sheeeeit, id still be making 85k & only working on avg like 34hrs a week.

split that over 3 days & thats a GOAT schedule for the money + yearly raises.

Most workers would agree with this. They are just mad because Bernie said it, and they have their angry red hats on and have been programmed for decades to hate "commies". Literal bleating NPC deplorable sheeple.

Yeah the way labor markets are at double the legal minimum for the most basic entry level jobs really chits on retards like bernies' last 30 years of minimum wage nonsense. That's the only reason he's talking about hours per week. They're all grifters and frauds.

Seems like a good way to cripple small business. Most run on small margins.

But hey, anything to help our multinational corps!

This. Don't think for one minute these big government-corporate hybrids won't justify not giving raises under the guise of "well they're working less."

Hell, even big businesses will slash hrs if this was implemented. Then Bernie will blame the consequences on "Corporate Greed!!!"

Businesses will have no more full time jobs and everybody is scheduled 31 hours forcing us all to get two jobs to get back up to our prior wage that we've come to rely on. The businesses hire more employees to cover the hours needed and nothing changes on their end except they definitely aren't paying overtime any more since if you get 32 hours then you automatically get paid for 40. Must be hard being a big brained politician….

Better solution: Make interest on loans, mortgages & credit cards 100% illegal in America permanently. Also make ALL "deductibles" illegal.

Better policy is to keep the regular 40 hour week, but mandate at least 8 hours work from home. Those work from home hours are basically time-off anyways, as people who "work from home" are really lying down in bed with pajamas on

Cool, as a police officer, can I work from home? How about a firefighter? A doctor? A paramedic? A construction worker? Those who work in retail?
